1t. Gov. Stedman, in closing the Ia.
bors of the Senate on Monday, among
other things said:
GAS presiding officer of the Senate, !
thank you all for the great courtesy and
kindness shown to me. You have aided
ue in the discharge of my duties and you
have made my task easy and pleasant. 1
shall ever remember with gratitude the
demonstration of good will and friend
ship rendered to me by the Senate in
response to the resolutions offered by the
Senators from Union, Cleveland and Co.
lumbus. I am also much indebted to
the clerks of the Senate, as well as to
their assistants, for efficient help and CO.
operation in our labors,
81 say, without reservation, that so far
as my observation and experience enable
me to judge the chief clerkIofIthe Senate,
Mr.. Furman, in those qualities and &C.
quirements requisite for the position held
by him, has few equals and no superior
Democrats and Republicans will alike
bear witness to the almost unrivalled
efficiency with which he has discharged
his duties"

THE Bo1Ls1oN GOLD MINES

1t is not often that the expectations of
gold discovered in this State are fully
realized. Much gold has been found in
North Carolina, but it has been said that
the cost of production on most instances
has been nearly equal to the yield. We
are not prepared to controYert the asser-
tion. But the Boilston mines in Hender-
son county promise to give different
results. The announcement of their dis
coverY, and the value placed upon them
fell on the public ear with incredulity or
indifference. Expectation had become
accustomed to disappointment. But those
interested undertook their work with
hope, confidence and courage; best of all
with capital and under scientific lead.
The reward seems at hand. Yesterday
we saw specim ems of the ore, ouartzite,
in which the pure gold lay embedded in
seams, in pieces, that would weigh several
penny weights; and the rock could not
be broken without exposing such masses
of gold All through the rock the fine
gold was different, SO that even in the
poorest part, the yield would not be less
than $3.50 to the ton. The product of
the richer part is sinestimable. California
in its vein mines never showed any
thing richer.
This vein is on the same lead with the
famous mines of Georgia.

Madame CHAR Cignarale, who
killed her husband at New York
and pleaded guilty to murder in the

The strike among the vardmen
of the New York, Pennsylvania and
and Ohio railroad at Cleveland still
continues. The company maintains
that it is needless to have the crews
consist of one conductor and three
brakemen, and declares that two
brakemen must do the work.
Wilson Barrett says American
audiences lack something that is

WESTERN FEVER.

MeSSrS. Editors ::--knowing your inter-
est in your country andits people, take
the liberty to hand you letter received
from one familiar with this section and
who is now and has been for years
resident of the West. While creduGty
is not always fault, it is a weakness to
believe thing because We want it to be
that way. It is easy to incline discon-
tented mind to change, and unscrupul-
GUS agents unblushingly falsify facts in
gorgeous descriptions and impose On
their fellows by peFsuading them to.
assume changes incurring great losses
for a mere pittance to themselves in the
way of commissions on emigrant tickets.
In the interest of those interested I here
submit statements froma source totally
disinterested and Therefore may be relied
on as facts. This letter was intended to
be private, as candid al . from enc
brother to another, but is published for
public consideration, 1t was solicited,
from desire to know the true state of
things, let them be favorable or uncon-
genial with our wishes IN the matter.
We are without data as to the origin ofthis
globe, nor better informed of the miriads
of people that have infested it through
the cycles of years that have witnessed
its doubtless many astronomical and geo.
logical changes. We do not know in
what latitude and longitude nor under
what temperature of sun, first grenin-
ated animal life, nor from what points
of the compass the wave of human influx
peopled the earth at its various periods,
but we know its present populous is from
the wave that started in the turbulent
Orient and swept westward to the found
ing of the nations of the three continents
of the Eastern Hemisphere and has rolled
over the vast plains and mountains of
the two continents of the Western
Hemisphere and weighs with the tide of
the Pacific. Our evolution ideas prompts
US in individual cases to seek such invest
ments as are best fitted to our survival,
which involves questions of Typography
and climate, and all prudent individuals
will study these and their temperaments
comparatively before making material
changes. Amphibious may live in either
element but all are not amphibious.

We met at Battery Park a few days
since an English gentleman. His. eyes
were fixed upon the beautiful Landscape
before hin. We casually fell in CONVEX
sation with him. He remarked that he
had travelled a great deal; had spent
much time in India had beenunder the
Himatayas, and had crossed one of their
high passes on his way to Thibet, where
he went to hunt the ibex; and he said
that next to a view obtained from
point among the foothills of the Hima-
layas he had seen nothing so beautiful
as the one now before him, with its
blending of valley and mountain. and its
fine atmospheric effects.
This is going long way for compari-
son, but it goes to prove that our own
admiration for the scene is not mis-
placed.

Another Suicide.

At Rockey Valley, in an adjoining
county, there was buried last week a
prominent man who might be yet an
ornament to society. had he not neglect
ed the advice of his friends to such an
extent that he can be said to have died
by his own wish. Mr.. Jones had at first
a slight cold, neglected, it becomes sari-
GUS. His friends advised the great Cough
Remedy, SymphYx. He refused every
appeal by his friends. AS a natural result
he grew worse and died. Ye that are
suffering with coughs and colds beware
that you do not lay yourself liable to the
same charge and fill a premature grave,
but take Symphyx at once and live.

MeSsrs Editors The Superior Court is
still in session at this place. The Jury
were empaneled this afternoon in the
case of State against Wiley Gosnell
charged with numbering his wife.
Ephraim Shelton alias Hensley against
whom true bill has also been found,
and who is indicted in the same bill
with Gosnell for aiding and assisting
Gosnell in the murder, asked the court
by his counsel to grant him separate
trial, insisting that the defences of the
two prisoners were antagonistic, which
request, after arguments for the State by
the Solicitor, and for Shelton by his
attorney, was granted. About forty
witnesses have been subpened in the
case, and it is thought that both trials
will consume the greater portion of the
remainder of the term, but no disposi.

are doing there now. Ifyour health fails

carried on here as a business. I
think you will make serious mistake if
you sell out and con to Oregon while
you are doing so well. Whenever you
can do no better than make expenses
then would say come West. but not till
then. I shall be glad to hear from you

THE CLOSING ScKNRs.-The House
wound up its sessions yesterday in the
greatest hub bub and confusion, indeed
all the recent sittings Of that body have
been characterized by disorder most
unbecoming a deliberative assembly.
The people must expect such scenes,
however, when they send to Raleigh
representatives without due appreciation
of the dignity of democratic government,
or so wrapped up in schemes for personal
advancement as to be forgetful of either
the welfare or the honor of the State. As
will be seen by our reports of the pro-
ceedings, efforts were made to stain the
annals of the State in such manner as
they have been defiled only under the
vilest radical rule. These efforts were
defeated but only by the exercise of the
strongest determination on the part of
the democrats. Let us see that tby our
choice of Representatives in the future,
like efforts are put beyond the range of
possibility. There was in the end a
triumph of democratic good sense and
patriotism. On that triumph we heart
lily congratulate the people of the State.
